Can I turn magic jack in to a fax modem?
I say can turn magic jack in to a fax modem not use a fax machine with it.
Any one reading this right. A fax modem enables a computer to transmit and receive documents as faxes. A fax modem is like a data modem but is designed to transmit and receive documents to and from a fax machine or another fax modem. Some, but not all, fax modems do double duty as data modems. As with other modems, fax modems can be internal or external. Internal fax modems are often called fax boards.

It doesn't work very well.
The most success I've seen is limiting the transmission speed to the lowest possible.
Unfortunately, MagicJack achieves their compression from seriously cropping the analog signal. For a voice call, it's barely noticeable, but for a digital transmission, it's a death blow.
EDIT: Wow... so this guy IMs me...

regrettably for me, yet fortunate for you, i comprehend all those blunders codes. on your case, 389 is a loud line. we've an HP client that had long fax matters. It grew to become out that the cable employer gave them call waiting, which trashed the transmission, yet I digress. MJ isn't a real telephone line and information transmission isn't supported. Your fax gadget can likely fall decrease back to 9600 or something slower, and it might desire to be O.ok. on short or user-friendly faxes, yet interior the long-term, it rather is purely not sturdy. There are some digital and unfastened fax recommendations that can help deliver out an internet site or 2 for unfastened. the simplest answer, in case you're basically going to apply MJ for provider, is to test and digital mail, or pay some nickel an internet site for outbound efax provider.
